Installing Junos Pulse

When logging into Bastion through the website (https://irt-bastion.stanford.edu), there will be a button marked "Start." Click the link, and select "Trust" to complete the download of the Pulse software.

You will need the recommended Java version to downloand the software; to see whether you currently have the correct version of Java for your system, you can visit the link http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp and click the "Verify" button. If you update your Java, restart your browser and log in again.

If your installed version of Java is not the most secure one, a dialog box will pop up when you attempt to install Pulse:
Click "Update" to go to the Java page and download the updated version. Click "Agree" to finish downloading. Install (the download page should have a link to installation instructions if needed), and then restart your browser.

Reopen the browser and again visit "irt-bastion.stanford.edu", and click "Start."

When trying to start Pulse, you may get an alert from Java:
Click "Run" to continue.

When the software starts to download, you may receive an alert that software is about to download:
Click "Yes" to continue.

If you're successful, the Junos Pulse application will begin downloading:

Enter your computer's password to allow the software to install.
If your browser does NOT start downloading Pulse, it's likely that, though Java is installed, it isn't fully activated. Some browsers (like Safari) have Java turn itself off for security reasons. You can test/activate your Java by visiting http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp. It may also be easier to complete the login/download with another browser such as Firefox.

You know you are finally connected when the Pulse client is installed and running; you should see this Pulse window:

And you're up and running! Keep the window open, and click "Disconnect" when you're ending your session.

Reboot your computer, and try to log in again at irt-bastion.stanford.edu.

If that doesn't work, try again with a different browser.

Uninstalling Network Connect

After switching to Junos Pulse, you MAY wish to completely uninstall Network Connect (unless you need it to access the Stanford VPN, in order to connect with Stanford resources from off-campus locations).

Mac

Open Network Connect. Instead of logging in, go to the "Network Connect" menu (in the top menu bar to the left of "File") and select "Uninstall Network Connect."
